‘02 Hyundai Santa Fe electrical problems?

Jamie S asked:


Yesterday, I went to lunch & while driving my car started doing some strange things. When I applied the brakes, my radio went off & the air bag light, the ABS light & traction control light came on. The RPM gauge also started moving in sync with my blinker. It did 4 or 5 times until I got back to work. It did not do it again on my way home & I left with my husband to take in & they hooked it up to a diagnostic machine & said that it was fine. A friend’s husband said it might be a wiring harness? My concern is we’re about to leave for vacation on a roadtrip to Florida from Texas. I’m afraid to drive it & not know what’s really going on. Anyone heard of anything like this????

How to replace fog light on 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe?

RedCoat999 asked:


How do you get to the fog light on a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe to replace the fog light bulb? I have searched online and found instructions that you have to remove the main light first which I did, but I still cannot figure out how to get at the fog light. I can just get my hand down to the back of the fog light box, but cannot remove the fog light box or get the light out.
Detailed instructions would be nice from someone!

I got in a little fender bender with my new Santa Fe…need to have the front bumper panel repainted. At first it was just scraped, but after going to the car wash this morning, it is now missing a large amount of paint. I have no idea what something like this would cost…any info greatly appreciated as I need to figure out if I should file with my insurance or pay for it myself out of pocket…Thanks in advance for your answers!
